New regs, new cars, new liveries and lots of new driver combination makes the Official Spotter Guide a must. The guide will be updated later in the week with any driver or livery additions (probably after Tech is completed). Livery wise, all except Rebellion have previously been confirmed.

If you are at the circuit, a printed guide/program will be available later in the week.

The guide also features a number of my own liveries.

Thanks to the teams for their help with reference of the guides, to IMSA of course, the proof readers and you for downloading and sharing the guide!

As you may have seen, a new social media platform has been launched called Drive Tribe. Fronted by Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, the basic concept is centered around hundreds or groups, or Tribes as they prefer to call them. You can make your own tribe and you can join tribes which interest you.

DriveTribe has the potential to be successful, but we will see.

I was accepted to become a member of Drive Tribe a while back and had a tribe for a while as the platform was tested. Drive Tribe is now live, so welcome you to take a look at the two tribes I have created.

Spotter Guides, as you will have guessed centers on my Spotter Guide series. This is really more of a networking and information page where I announce Spotter Guide releases as I do on Twitter and Facebook.

My other Tribe is titled, Liveries & Design, which covers liveries past, present and future. We look at Livery icons and also a review of liveries each month. This is currently an open tribe, so anyone can post.

2016, at least in Spotter Guide form is nearing a close, just one more Spotter Guide to be produced for the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Finals in Valencia at the beginning of December.

As we are in between the Canadian and American Thanksgiving celebrations, it was only right for me to thank YOU for downloading the guides this year, thanks for ReTweeting, Sharing and Linking the many social media posts or maybe you publisized the Guides in a Blog. Thanks to each and every one of you.

Thank you to the many partners this year. Without there support, there would be no guides.

The realities are, along with ‘Andy Blackmore Design’ this is my career, its what pays the mortgage, pays the bills, what enables me send my little girl to school. I’m very lucky in that I have a career I love, but I also need to pay the bills so I’m truly thankful.

So, huge thanks to IMSA, who commission me to produce the online and supply art to their printed Official Spotter/ Fan Guides as well as supply car art for their website, app and merchandise.

Thank you to Dunlop Motorsport Europe, who in a crowded space, partnered with me on the 2016 Dunlop Le Mans 24Hour Spotter Guide. This partnership included a large print run for fans and VIPs of Dunlop and Travel Destinations. The majority of team timing stands and commentary boxes had the guides taped up. As an example, I counted 10 sightings of the guide in the recent Sir Chris Hoy documentary on BBC.

Thank you to new partners Lamborghini Squadra Corsa and their marketing agency, Centigrade. We have produced guides for North American and European rounds of the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Championship.

Thanks to everyone at CJ Wilson Racing. In addition to working with them on team identity and livery, we partnered to create a Spotter Guide for the CJ Wilson Racing Cayman Cup which ran in conjunction with TORA.
